Recipe's preparation

Pastry

Place all ingredients into mixing bowl and knead for 2 minutes.  

Push mixture together to form a ball, and wrap in cling film.  Let sit at room temperature while preparing filling.

Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees C.

Filling

Place sugar and lemon zest into mixing bowl and mill for 10 seconds on speed 9.  Set aside.

Place butter or margarine into mixing bowl and melt for 2 minutes at 120 degrees (or Varoma for TM31) on speed 1.

Add breadcrumbs and cook for 6 minutes at 100 degrees on speed 2.  Set aside.

Place apples in mixing bowl and chop for 5 seconds, speed 4, with the aid of your spatula.

Add butter and breadcrumb mixture, sugar and lemon rind, currants, sultanas and cinnamon and mix for 15 seconds on Reverse, speed 3.  

Divide dough into 2 pieces and roll each piece out very thinly on a lightly floured thermomat to a large rectangle shape.  Use your hands to stretch the dough as thin as possible.  You should be able to read the words on your mat through it!   

Place half the apple mixture along the long edge of each dough rectangle.  Brush all the edges with some of the extra melted butter, and roll up in a swiss roll fashion, turning the outside edges in as you roll.

Carefully lift and place each roll onto a baking mat or oven tray lined with baking paper.   Brush each roll with half the remaining melted butter and bake at 220 deg C for 20 minutes.  Brush with remaining melted butter and cook for a further 30 minutes at 180 deg C.  Serve hot or cold, dusted with icing sugar if desired.
